NJ just stopped mechanical inspections today

NJ stopped doing mechanical inspections today because they said no data could be found supporting that the inspections actually did any good or kept anyone safe. Now all you need to pass an emissions test.

I think it's BS and the Gov. just wants to save some of our cash for other projects.

This act bothers me due to the vast amount of cars/trucks on our roads and the total lack of common sense many of the drivers exhibit in regards to proper vehicle maintenance.

I'm no fan of the Gov telling me what I need to do, but due to the amount of idiots we have out here I think our roads will not be as safe.

I am a huge fan of the Government regulating my life. I love giving my time and money to the Government to inspect my truck. I hate it when the Government shirks it responsibility of watching over me and keeping me safe.

GA doesn't have state inspections either. We just have to get emissions every year.

Its good to see NJ got rid of that. Way too much Government involvement there. They had the governor of NJ on the radio the other day interviewing him. I don't know much about the guy and his background but I really like what he had to say, his plan for the state, and his strategy for executing that plan.

I am not a fan of Government regulation, but someone needs to keep the sheep inline. Now the responsibility will be on the cops when they have much more serious things to worry about then some jackass with bald tires - Well the cops will have to respond when he takes out a family in the rain.

Our new Republican gov is the shit! He is taking us out of the hole we have been in for along time. Somethings he does I will not agree on, but that's why we are all different.

Just because it looks like a piece of crap, doesn't mean it isn't mechanically sound.

Doesn't mean it IS mechanically sound either. I used to do state inspections, and you'd be horrified by the things that people tried to get me to pass for them. Left to their own devices, it seems the average American would rather buy beer than brakes, which is understandable, but dangerous at the same time.

I'm not worried about my TW brothers/sisters as most seem to have some common sense.

It is the sheep I'm worried about. You guys know - the people who don't even know they need to change their oil. The people who have 20' of lumber hanging out their car that's tied with a string. The people who stop at the end of a highway on ramp so they can "merge" with 80mpg traffic.

$17 million a year will be saved, so I am happy to hear my taxes will go down.......oh yea they won't I just heard we are going up 10% next year.
